Place

Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve

Nature

Panorama Route, Mpumalanga, South Africa

An escarpment reserve of deep canyon country, cliffs, forest, river viewpoints, and the Three Rondavels north of Graskop.

Why go

Why visit this place?

The canyon reveals the landform transition between South Africa's high interior and the Lowveld beside Kruger.

When you arrive

What to expect

A road-linked sequence of viewpoints and short stops rather than a single park gate or one wildlife drive.

Local knowledge

Local tip

Mist can erase the broadest views; leave enough time to read the escarpment rather than racing between named overlooks.

Visiting

Getting there

This circuit approaches from Ohrigstad, then follows the Panorama Route south through Bourke's Luck Potholes and Graskop.

Best time: Visibility, rain, temperature, and waterfall flow vary by season and hour.
